BEAvERTowN.-A After limited

pencil and endeavor to jot "A few items
in the interests OF our town and its
citizens. 1t is sometimes well to step
aside from our spheres OF action and
the turnoils of this busy world Of ac,
ton, rivalry, and contention ard in
patient silence observe what other
people think and say. There are
times when silence stands prominent
to all other virtues and possesses gra-
ces which could not be substituted by
anything else, and by the side Of
which the most polished and eloquent
forms OF speech sink into insignifi-
canoe. 1t often requires tho most
strenuous efforts to remain silent.
Some people entirely lack this excel
lent quality and, indeed, seem to be
totally ignorant OF the fact that there
ever is any beauty in silence. Some
people are agreeable only when they
are silent. Zeno, the celebrated Aths-
nian philosopher preferred silence to
all other virtues. My delay in writ
ing, however, was not occasioned by
any sense OF necessity in that diroc-
tion 1t was caused by inability be-
cause of other work but l am not
